Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transport media is best suited for this specimen as it is specifically designed to maintain the viability of microorganisms during transportation to the laboratory. This is important for accurate identification and diagnosis. TSA, TSB, pour plates, and quadrant streak plates are all growth media used for culturing bacteria, but they are not designed for transportation of specimens.
